I don't have the model number for this range but it's a very old magic chef gas oven. What I need is the oven temperature knob. The knob used to have all of the temperature numbers printed on it however it is so old, the numbers have worn off. Numbers were in white lettering.

A blacksmith may be able to make the parts for you. Being over 70 years old, I doubt there will be any spares left.

do an online search their are hundreds of appliance part companies and sites that sell parts at discounted prices

Its quite an old appliance, try www.whitegoods.co.uk you will need the serial number and model number, to order the correct parts. Also ISOLATE THE APPLIANCE BEFORE DOING ANY WORK, lift up the knob for temp control some older models have a small screw under a plastic cap, others just pull off with careful leverage. Spray the rieostate with wd40, move back and forward several times when its wet, it should begin to ease, wait until the wd40 has evaporated, then try the switch. Thermostats come in various types for cookers depending on make and model, but it should be attainable.
Hope this helps you

Here is a link to all the parts for this oven.

Without the Model Number I can only give you Basic instruction.

If your machine is Digital the best way to calibrate if find the manuel of your machine useing your Model number.

Some of the digital models : select bake and press and hold the up or down Temp button for 5 Sec to enter the calibration mode.

Some models require you do get the temp to over 400 deg befor you can enter the Calibration mode.

If your machine has a turn knob ... Take the knob off and see if there is a small screw in the center... This is the calibration screw.

   Use the part number to make ordering simple. Look closely at the part you intend to replace. A part number will be printed or inscribed on any part that is large enough to display at least six digits.
   
3. 
   Order parts from appliance retailers. Call local USA appliance shops and ask if they sell parts. If so, get a price quote for your part and ask if it's in stock, or how soon it could arrive.
   
4. 
   Order from online parts dealers. Use your appliance model number and part description or part number to check online parts dealers for prices and ship times.

gas or elec

sounding like thermostat isn't working. If you could ohm out the t-stat should be closed when you call for heat. If that passes the test then only thing it could be is the gas valve.
